new day begun (kevin so)



wake up son the day’s begun

for another year of school

you’re twelve and a half, i can’t help but laugh

i remember when i was like you

get up get dressed you’ve had your rest

it’s almost 7:49am

we can’t be late your mom’ll hate me

if i don’t get you there on time



wake up son the day’s begun

come on come on come on a new day begun



we’ll take the car it’s not too far

twenty minutes during rush hour

we can stop and eat get some good stuff cheap

we can split a gay may bow

but we can’t stay long we gotta move on

the first day is always weird

there’ll be lots of kids and yeah i know how it is

and i want you to be prepared



wake up son the day’s begun

come on come on come on a new day begun



after i drop you off tell them the fault was mine

tell them that i got lost that i barely know how to drive

if they give you hell if they keep you after school

have them give me a call and everything will be cool



it’s all right did you stay up all night ?

were you picking out clothes to wear ?

putting new laces on your old adidases

you do this every year

but you need your sleep so next day you’ll be

wide awake and feel the morning breeze

when i was twelve like you i had to quit school

had to work for the family, yeah i had to work for my family



so wake up son the day’s begun

come on come on come on a new day begun
